Expose Metrics on Kafka Broker

[i7c]

Hi,

first of all thanks for this module. I've been playing with it for some days now and it works great! Saved me a lot of work!

I have the Control Center up and running and I wanted to see the broker health metrics. I see, your default config contains
'confluent.support.metrics.enable' => true,

puppet-confluent/manifests/kafka/broker.pp

Line 83 in c17152a

'confluent.support.metrics.enable' => true,

However, in order to actually see metrics, I needed to do two more things:

Firstly, extend the broker config by this:
"metric.reporters" => "io.confluent.metrics.reporter.ConfluentMetricsReporter",

and furthermore, add a

  package { 'confluent-rebalancer':
    ensure => latest,
    tag    => 'confluent',
  }

Am I missing something, or is this the right way to do it? Would you want a patch to extend that in your module?

Cheers,
Constantin

I encountered this same issue. I believe this issue to be related to #38 . The confluent-rebalancer package is an enterprise feature.
